How To Install Boot-US on Master Boot Record (MBR) – Ep. 12

This final video in the series will show you how to apply your boot manager to your master boot record. The master boot record is the first thing your hard drive opens when you restart your computer – when you store the boot manager into the MBR you are overwriting the old MBR. This is only a security risk if you haven’t followed the necessary steps to ensure that your boot manager has been successfully configured to start up both of your operating systems. The curve ball in this episode is that you have to have an “official” license to true hide your other partitions, but the truth is you can always either leave your floppy disk in to true hide them OR you can live with the other partitions not being true hid. The software only runs around 18 dollars anyways.
